Chapter 1216 Am I redundant?
"You are...Hera?"
Xiao Yi stood up and couldn't help but repeat it, and even looked at Taillon again.
Tai Lun was also a little confused. My goodness, the young lady hadn't revealed her true identity yet? She was still playing the role of a maid?
"She...has always been our lady, Hera."
Tai Lun nodded to Xiao Yi.
"Brother Xiao, I...I didn't intend to hide my identity before."
Hera was still trying to figure out how to explain it.
Xiao Yi stood there in a daze, his mind quickly going over some of the things he had talked about with Hera during their previous meeting.
"It seems... you didn't say anything bad about the young lady, did you?"
Xiao Yi murmured in his heart, feeling a little uncertain.
"I really thought you were just Hera's maid. Old Wen and I treated you as our little sister."
Xiao Yi suppressed his surprise and calmed down a bit.
Then he remembered that he seemed to have pinched Hera's face just now, and felt a little regretful.
He didn't need to be afraid of anything, because the other party was a young lady after all, and his actions were very inappropriate.
"I just don't want you to think of me as Nuwang's daughter, so I didn't reveal my identity."
Hera said hurriedly.
Xuanyuan Yun on the side had a strange look on her face. As expected, women's intuition was reliable. She had just felt that Hera's temperament didn't seem like that of a maid.
"How about...we get to know each other again and say hello?"
Xiao Yi really wanted to replay the meeting that had just happened over again.
"Are you going to call me Miss Hera?"
Hera asked.
"Haha, it would be fine if you were really a maid, but since you are Hera herself, I should correct my attitude and express my gratitude to you for helping me and Old Wen out of trouble."
Xiao Yi smiled and became more serious.
"That doesn't stop you from calling me sister and me calling you Brother Xiao, right?"
Hera asked back.
"This……"
Xiao Yi glanced at Xuanyuan Yun, who nodded slightly. As a woman, she could feel Hera's sincerity, and even some other thoughts.
"Well then, Hera...sister."
Hearing this name, Hera became happy.
"Miss, the general..."
Tyron spoke hesitantly.
"But I just got here less than five minutes ago!"
Hera interrupted with a frown.
Tai Lun was hesitant to speak and could only retreat temporarily. Before leaving, he glanced at Xiao Yi, hoping to get help.
Xiao Yi saw it all and understood what was happening.
"Sister Hera, I can wait, or come back another day. I know you have distinguished guests. Don't..."
Xiao Yi spoke again.
"It's nothing. Shangna changed his schedule at the last minute. No one else can be blamed for this."
Hera shook her head and looked at Xuanyuan Yun.
"I didn't have time to ask what this sister's name was just now."
"My name... is Xuanyuan Yun."
Xuanyuan Yun introduced himself.
"Xuanyuan Yun..."
Hera repeated softly.
"Actually, she's not my fiancée, haha."
Xiao Yi smiled.
Hearing this, Hera and Xuanyuan Yun's expressions changed.
"What do you mean?"
Xuanyuan Yun muttered in his heart, not pretending now? Confessing?
However, why did she still feel a little uncomfortable in her heart?
"She...maybe she's worried that I'm out and about and in danger. She's just a friend, but she said she really wants to meet you, the young lady."
Xiao Yi explained.
Since everything is peaceful now, there is no need to deceive Hera. Some of their previous speculations have been refuted.
"No one is worried that you're in danger!"
Xuanyuan Yun said directly.
She was a little angry and didn't understand why Xiao Yi wanted to explain and was so eager to distance himself from her?
Hera blinked her big eyes, not quite understanding for a moment.
"My fiancée is Wei Yuqing. She is still with General Chava. I will bring her to see you if I have the chance.
I mentioned you to her. If she knew that you, the maid, were Hera herself, she would be very unbelievable, haha."
Xiao Yi smiled.
"Actually... I know about your fiancée, but I don't know her name. I thought..."
Hera said as she looked towards Xuanyuan Yun.
This made Xuanyuan Yun feel a little uncomfortable. Why did she suddenly feel that her presence was a bit unnecessary? She had such good intentions.
And! She knew that Xiao Yi had a fiancée, but she didn't know that his fiancée was also here.
"Sister Hera, the reason why Nuoshan retreated was because of your help, right?"
Xiao Yi could see that Hera was very clear about what had happened to him recently.
"Yes."
Hera nodded.
"Since we last met, I have indeed been paying attention to you...I am paying attention to what is happening in Minbang."
"I guessed it. Someone reminded me that you might be able to help. Then why didn't you..."
Xiao Yi paused.
"Why didn't I contact you at that time? Haha."
Hera smiled.
"Didn't I leave you my phone number? You didn't contact me."
Since the Xuanyuan Yun in front of her was not Xiao Yi's fiancée, she didn't need to be so conservative about some of her words. After all, she didn't know whether she would have the chance to say these words again in the future.
"I……"
Xiao Yi was speechless.
"It's nothing, Brother Xiao. I didn't do that just to help you. It's because I know what you did is great. I know that by helping Peng Sheng, you are helping the millions of suffering people in Minbang."
Hera was serious.
"So, I had no reason not to ask my father to mediate. In fact, I was not 100% sure at the time. Fortunately, Nuoshan really withdrew his troops in the end."
"But this..."
Xiao Yi hesitated, not knowing how to ask.
Would Nuwang go to all parties just because of his daughter's words? Obviously it is unrealistic. There are many aspects involved, and there are also huge interests involved.
"I...I just told my father that I have thought about the marriage with Shangna."
Hera still had a smile on her face, but that smile was tinged with sadness.
Xuanyuan Yun's heart moved. Xiao Yi had once told her about the engagement with Hera.
Unlike the marriages between other big families, which were just to ensure their own destiny or interests, Hera was responsible for far more than just the survival of her family, but also the fate of millions of people in this "small kingdom"...
"Brother Xiao, don't get me wrong. I am only doing my best to help you because I know you are different from them. As for me... I can't escape anyway!"
Hera was somewhat calm.
"No matter what, I have to thank you on behalf of myself and Minbang. If a war breaks out that day, even if we can win, it will still be a disaster for everyone.
Your kindness has indeed saved thousands of lives!"
Xiao Yi said seriously.
He was also very emotional about Hera's engagement, but he couldn't comment on it. After all, it was her own business, and it was very complicated.
Even if he wanted to do something, that would be a matter for the future. He had to understand all the circumstances first, so he naturally wouldn't say more now.
Hera nodded, happy to be able to help Xiao Yi.
Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a while, and time passed quickly until evening.
"Miss."
Tyron is back.
"The general... asked you to go back immediately and attend the dinner."
Hera, who had been smiling, saw the light in her eyes fade away again. It seemed that the time had really come to part with Xiao Yi.
It’s just a farewell, will we meet again?
